  1. youthful

    Boyish, childish, and girlish are used in a good sense of those to whom they properly belong, but in a bad sense of those from whom more maturity is to be expected; childish eagerness or glee is pleasing in a child, but unbecoming in a man; puerile in modern use is distinctly contemptuous. Juvenile and youthful are commonly used in a favorable and kindly sense in their application to those still young; youthful in the sense of having the characteristics of youth, hence fresh, vigorous, light-hearted, buoyant, may have a favorable import as applied to any age, as when we say the old man still retains his youthful ardor, vigor, or hopefulness; juvenile in such use would belittle the statement. Young is distinctively applied to those in the early stage of life or not arrived at maturity. Compare NEW.

    Pomegranates are high in vitamin C and contain many potent antioxidants, including flavonoids and anthocyanins. Together, these nutrients help protect our cells against the stress and oxidative damage that are a normal part of aging.

The vitamin C found in pomegranates also helps the body produce its own collagen, since it is a precursor in the formation process.
